FOIMan to chair FOI and information rights event for Understanding Modern Government.

UMG bannerIn September I will be chairing a one-day event for Understanding Modern Government. Speaking at Understanding Freedom of Information Requests and Rights will be: Lynn Wyeth (@lynnfoi) of Leicester City Council; Dr Ben Worthy, Birkbeck College academic and expert on FOI and open data; Lisa Adshead from the Information Commissioner’s Office; and Heather Savory, Chair of the Open Data User Group. I’ll finish the day with a workshop looking at how to deal with some of the trickier aspects of request handling.

This event proved popular when it was run in February, so don’t miss out.
